Guatemala is one of the most violent countries in the world. 95% of murders remain unsolved, and the ultra-violent Maras manage drug trafficking, prostitution, and racketeering in the country and spread terror among the population. After several weeks of negotiation, we gained access to some of these gangs.

The fact they think it's okay to extort they community is such cowards in my eyes

He's only 32 y/o ?? Dude looks 50

Enjoying this great documentary from Nairobi, Kenya.

I travelled over 70 countries including Guatemala 🇬🇹 and truly loved the country . I did not face any problem. Wish them good future from Buffalo New York ❤❤❤❤

"95% of homicides are never cleared up." That speaks silent volumes.

Watching from Canada but I was born in Guatemala. I’ve been back many times since I was a kid and I love it. If you stay away from the Capital where the gangs are concentrated you’ll see how relatively safe and beautiful the country is. I’m going back in September and I can’t wait.

I hope that they get tough with these low thieves like San Salvador. The people live in fear. Makes me sick.

It's crazy how notorious these guys are. One of the gang members looks just like Jose, our hard working gardener..

Pedro moved there to make a better life but ruins so many. Very sad to do that to his own people, and justifies it in his own mind.

Hey Pedro, you should go to El Salvador, you would love it there...

This is amazing evidence for the courts.

It is heartbreaking to see this beautiful country go through this. Salvadorans know well what El Salvador was like before (worse than this) and how safe it is now. We all hope Guatemala and Honduras get this problem fixed soon.

Been there twice and spent a month each time traveling all over the country. First time was in 2007 - the second time was in 2023. The people are great and the country is truly beautiful.

Pedro couldn't chase down a donut if he tried

This was a huge reminder to remain grateful for my life and up bringing no matter what. People are really going through it.

I an from Guatemala City and I'm very blessed to have been adopted but it sucks to see the community where I'm from struggle so much

Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭

I'm a 33 year veteran teacher and 40 year missionary to many countries. I have been traveling to Guatemala to spread the Gospel and hand out 100's of chromebook laptop computers to schools and children in churches and poor neighborhoods especially in San Reymundo and Jalapa Guatemala. The people are amazing and humble. I love their food and culture. I will be returning for the 4th time this summer. I pray that these areas get cleaned up like El Salvador. God Bless them.

God bless Guatemala and their people
